MedReview, a subsidiary of the New York County Health Services Review Organization (NYCHSRO) which was established in 1974 as one of the first physicians' peer review organizations in the United States, provides its clients with guaranteed cost-effective case management and utilization analysis approaches that can assist them in developing or negotiating more cost-efficient benefit plan strategies.
